Blonde Blazer was one of the prettiest- if not the prettiest- women you’ve ever seen, and that’s saying a lot considering your line of work.
Being a photographer of your caliber meant handling the elite. Influencers, models, athletes, you name it. Hell, even superheroes from time to time.
But never in your entire career have you been face to face with such a woman.
The memory of the first time meeting her is burnt into your retina, and every so often, you enjoy recalling it.
The boss clarified that you’d be working with a very popular person, but they didn’t say how popular. That’s why you can’t believe it when the Blonde Blazer walks through the door, fully suited as if ready to fight crime in front of a green screen.
Despite the aura she carries around, you later find out she’s actually really easy to talk to, and before you know it, she’s in a dress, posing in front of the camera with an all-too-natural way of moving that tells you that she’d definitely done this before.
And then when you stop to check the pictures, you feel a pair of eyes looming over your shoulder, but you don’t dare look.
“Oh. Delete those ones, please.” She says, and her index finger’s tapping against the small screen on the camera. “My belly looks like it wants a cameo.”
What?
It is true though that while working with her is pretty easy on set, the amount of pictures that you have to review after feels like hell. Top brass says the pictures have to turn out perfect, since well, she is perfect.
So you spend what feels like an eternity editing them, touching up every single detail, and you can almost start imagining things. That’s why it’s weird to see your favourite gummies placed on your laptop’s keyboard, before your usual order of coffee is also placed beneath the mouse.
Then you can almost hear a voice, but you’re certain you’re imagining things.
“Figured you could use some energy." And then when your eyes finally move to look at the voice, you see her.
Yeah, like, why would Blonde Blazer still be here of all people? How’d she even know your favourite gummies and what your usual order on that coffee shop you love so much is? You convince yourself, but it’s not enough since you decide to pinch your cheek.
And then you realize you’re not imagining it.
